    My first taro fest in many years. This weekend we were in here for a wedding so we headed to the…read moretaro fest the next day. It was a hot and muggy morning. We got here at 9 when it first started and this place was packed. We couldn't even find parking nearby, so we parked up the street and took a walk down to the back park. Started if with the vendors they're selling arts and crafts, so many to choose from. They had a lot of food to to choose from something different at the tents. Then we sat under the tent and enjoyed the entertainment. Then the rain came it poured for a bit so many people came under the tent. It was a fun and exciting day. People are very friendly here. I needed a bowl for my dog to drink water and a nice guy gave me a bowl from his booth. I was very grateful

    This was my first visit to the Taro Fest but definitely not my last…read more It takes place at Hana Ball Park. Parking is challenging but not impossible. The event runs from 9a-5p. There's entertainment, arts & crafts, a sort of mini-trade show, and of course food! The main star of the show is the taro. They have demonstrations on how the plant is prepared in many ways for food. FOOD: Taro Seafood Chowder Similar to a squid luau dish. Lightly flavored with a coconut-based soup, luau leaves, chunks of taro, shredded chicken, potatoes and carrots. Needed more salt IMO. Pokē Balls Chunks of unsalted ahi pokē wrapped in a cake noodle and deep fried. Drizzled with a mild wasabi cream sauce (even I could handle it being a wasabi hater) and orange-colored cream sauce. Had it not been for the cream drizzles, it would've been flavorless. Maybe if the ahi was seasoned it would've tasted better. Or even use tako instead of ahi. A bit pricey at $10 for 2 balls. Apple Snails Similar to escargots, they're farmed from the taro patch. I was so excited to eat this again as I haven't eaten them in years. Again, the preparation was very light on flavor. I believe they sautéed them just in its natural broth because there was no flavor other than the snail and earthy taro patch flavor. It was delish but wish I had some garlic-shoyu mixture to dip them in. There are tons of other foods to try, but I like to try things I can't get everywhere. TIP: Bring an umbrella because Hana can bake you during the day, as well as some salt and shoyu as the sodium content at most food booths are very, very low.

    Tried Guadalajara Tacos again recently--it's been a while--and I have to say, the experience didn't…read morequite hit like I remembered. I ordered an adobada burrito and horchata. The flavors were ok, but everything leaned a bit too smoky for me which was a little unexpected and the cabbage overwhelmed the burrito more than it complimented them. Not sure if that's just the style of the food from the region, it just wasn't for me that night, but my other half seemed to enjoy it. That said, I still really appreciate what this spot is all about. Everything is made to order, from tacos and mulitas to quesadillas and their Sunday-only barbacoa (get there early if you want to try it--it's first come, first served!). What keeps me rooting for them is that they're a non-profit and proceeds go toward supporting the children and youth of local churches. So even if my meal wasn't as memorable this time, I'm still happy to support a business that's doing good in the community. Would I go back? Yeah, probably--especially on a Sunday to try the barbacoa. Just hoping for a little more balance the next time around.

    Yessssss!!! We were in the mood for tacos today and our favorites were the shrimp and steak! Our…read morefriends rave about the shrimp mulitas. Additionally, our Argentinian landlords are obsessed with this place so I feel that gives this place even more steet cred. Get one of each of the sauces they are fireeee If a worker or owner reads this, could you please consider adding side tortilla chips/ side avocado/guac to the menu? Thank u xoxo

    I've been hearing a lot of great things about Kihei Fourth Friday and finally decided to go last…read moreweek for the first time. This fourth Friday celebration is bigger than the other Friday celebrations on island. They close down the end of Lipoa St. and have a ton of food options from food trucks to brick & mortar restaurants/cafes, one of which hosts a beer garden. The food truck lot behind Azeka's is opened as well which adds even more to the lineup. They also have a lot of different vendors from candies to apparel and different stores in the marketplace. They also provide a variety of entertainment throughout the night and you'll find people singing and dancing and just having a lot of fun. When we got there we immediately checked out all the different food options. There are so many that we couldn't decide! Naturally, we did like foodies do and went with multiple different vendors. We got a taco assortment from Horhitos Mobile Taqueria, some steak from Teppanyaki 2 go and for dessert we had soft-serves from Aloha Kettle Corn. The steak was a bust and definitely regret that decision. The tacos were pretty good, but they didn't have the one that I was hoping for. Aloha Kettle Corn, they just have the best self-serve ever so that's definitely always a good choice. There are tables scattered throughout the street so we quickly found a table and sat down. While we ate there was a singer playing in the background which was nice. If you're scared of bugs, don't sit too close to the street lights because there are A LOT of them. Overall, we had a really good time and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you get a chance. There is something for everyone and that's a nice option for something to do on a Friday night. For the tourists, this is a great way to get a little taste of different cuisines if you're short on time!
